Crucible is now offering masterclasses in business essentials including marketing, finance, intellectual property law, copywriting and growth management.
Each session is delivered by a businessperson who is an expert in their area, and has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share.
Every monthly session has 10 places available to entrepreneurs and the business community. The sessions all take place over two days and are delivered free to SMEs but places are limited. If you can’t make it to the sessions, we ask you let us know 48 hours in advance so we are able to open it up to people on the waitlist.
